    i find this game incredible.. i dont understand the hate. it's slow, tells its own story, its so much fun. im only upto epsiode 2 and im eager to find out what happens next.. inspired by firewatch i feel they've done a great job at creating there own. i highly HIGHLY recommend this game if you're story driven.

    Definitely a walking simulator, but a great story A+. Kept me focused, a good ~10 hour story.

    It has been a while since I played Firewatch. I remember I liked that game a lot. It was different, it had a cool story and it didn't take that long to play through. Looking at this game made me think it would be similar. Lot's of people comparing it to Firewatch helped too. Well, not so much. In Arctic Awakening the main character isn't very likeable. The writing is dull. The interactive parts aren't that exciting,…
